As deputy Governor for 8 year, what other experience do you need as Governor? perharp another 7 years as governor before he knows the ropes to act as one.
check the stats, 8years as Deputy, 1.5years as governor, 4years as Vice President and yet not a single achievement as President for over 13months. I guess the whole nation should sit still and wait for him for another couple of years to learn what it takes, so you feel such a person with an obvious learning disability should be the president?

When I began this journey seeking your votes I committed myself to promising less and delivering more. I promised to reduce pressure on roads by expanding on aviation and rail infrastructure and to this end I commissioned 25 new rail coaches following which my entourage and I journeyed by rail from Lagos to Abeokuta. When I promise I will deliver. GEJ

emeka_gh:

Obviously unlike me, you choose to see nothing good in the man GEJ. That is you. Recent poll shows that many Nigerians are with him. That is what matters in elections. If you think the polls are wrong, well of course, that is up to you.

emeka_gh:

Like I said earlier, ethnicism, aside. In my heart of hearts, I strongly believe that GEJ is a better man that the other top contenders.

emeka_gh:

That is why I am rooting for him. He is not perfect; he is humane (of course in my own opinion).  Because of Jonathan, I am willing to give PDP another chance.GEJ is the best man for the job. Nigeria will be better with him at the helms of affairs.

Kobojunkie:

You really think attacking my person makes the facts we have on the man disappear? Come on . . . and here I thought you at least willing to use your head here a bit. ROFLMAO!!

What polls are you referring to? Again, I am against the status quo so I don't think I should be concerned much with the polls. If the majority remain the way they were back 2007, I don't see how that should impact the truth and facts we have in anyway.  I am more concerned about making sure you at least know the truth so when you go to vote or tell others to, you know the truth rather than continue blindly
I am sorry but that is bull and you know it. When it comes to the heart, we still tend to play safe--- all indications point to this being a mistake if it happens. All substantial evidence we have of who this man is screams "mistake" and you come in to tell us that possibly the first time your vote might actually count for something, you base your vote on your FEELINGS??
We are talking of the lives of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HERE! I wonder if you also FEEL this way when you have the choice of having unprotected sex (with someone you picked off the street)or not. lol
No leader on this planet NEEDS TO BE PERFECT -- Fashola, Amaechi, Sullivan Chime are not perfect leaders but they are DEFINITELY LEADERS -- Something Jonathan continues to show he is not. He is in Aso Rock, 10 months in, and you are still needing to make excuses for him. What sort of leader needs to be made excuses for?

emeka_gh:

Attack your person? In which way?

emeka_gh:

GEJ records in office speaks volume for itself. He doesn't have to send a Nigerian to Mars to claim achievement. 

Kobojunkie:



Well your statement that I choose not to see anything good in him is an attack since you are not in my mind and have no mind reading abilities. I don't need to engage baseless nonsense like that when all I can easily do is check his records to know all I need to know of him and his capability and his record continues to scream "LIKELY MISTAKE". If he needs me to see past his own records to vote for him, then it is sure confirmation that he is not the leader we need.


a) Did Rotimi Amaechi Send someone to the moon or mars before Nigerians decided him a good leader?

b) Did Sullivan Chime Send someone to the moon or mars before Nigerians decided him a good leader?

c) Did Fashola Send someone to the moon or mars before Nigerians decided him a good leader?

So what in the world are you trying to say? If these men did not need to do all too elaborate work to get people noticing their potential, why is it still hard for you to know that Jonathan is not what we need more of? He has been tried and tested over and over -- and he failed each and every time already.

emeka_gh:

He is tested and trusted, and has succeeded in many things.

emeka_gh:

My statement is what it is - a statement. Never intended as an attack.
Goodluck is saddled with the responsibility of managing the nation. Based on my assessment of his performance. He has impressed me a lot; far more that the lots you touted above. GEJ is not just a good leader. He is a very good administrator. That is what the record of his achievement says.
He is tested and trusted, and has succeeded in many things. Nigerians have decided in the polls the he is a good leader. The April election will confirm it by God's divine grace.

Dream chaser:

This poll just made my day on Nairaland! But I think 60.4% is too low! Was expecting GEJs lead to be in the range of 70-80%. We need to work more on our campaign strategy. I need me a LANDSLIDE. To shut up the doubters and mumus.

Wadeoye:

Any poll that says Jonathan wins Lagos is fibricated - how will that happen? Rigging or what?

"It will take total blindness to vote for the PDP in 2011.

Only 4 sets of people can vote for the PDP:

(1) those who are intellectually blind.
(2) those who are blinded by ethnicity
(3) those who are blinded by corruption and therefore afraid of the unknown, should power change hands; and finally
(4) those who are suffering from a combination of the above terminal sicknesses" ,

Kobojunkie:

I hate to say it but I feel I need to @emeka_gh. I don't know who made the above statement but the person tagged you for sure.

lekyar:

Madam Kobo, I admire your tenacity but what alternatives are you proposing, This is a case of voting the best of a lot of bad options, I can never vote for Buhari or Ribadu for a lot of reasons which do not border on your list above. So cool it down a notch . nuff said.

Kobojunkie:

There is NO WAY continuing with ESTABLISHED Failure ( Failure for the last 12 years STRAIGHT-NO PAUSE) is any better than the alternatives we have, even today. We all sat back and watched the Nation come to a complete halt under the Yar adua/Jonathan ticket. He has been given time to redeem himself and instead of hitting the ground running, since unlike everyone else out there he again has experience that ought to work as an advantage for him, he has shown he does not have anything to offer. By next month we will celebrate one year(for those who need him to get one year before we rank him) and no signs that anything substantial has been accomplished to date. What we keep getting,even a year into his administration are promises and not much else.

Yes, I agree we do not have the best pickings this time around BUT it is NO EXCUSE to choose to CONTINUE THE FAILURE of the last 12 years, NONE WHATSOEVER!

lekyar:


I think that's a very dim view(no insult intended) but you dont expect GEJ to completely transform the nation in such a small space of time. Power's improving thats for sure and I will count him an overachiever if we have free and credible elections as promised, keeping my finger's crossed on that but read somewhere that inec was in the process of prosecuting double registrants . Lets not throw away the baby with the bath water. Lets give the guy some time to actualize his programs.

Kobojunkie:

lol . . . . .

a) What line of my post do you have me stating I expect him to transform the whole nation in a small space of time

i) Go to check Fashola's Record and see what he was able to complete in just 100 days of office

ii) Go to check Rotimi Amaechi's Record and see what he was able to complete in just 100 days of office

iii) Go to check Sullivan Chime's Record and see what he was able to complete in just 100 days of office

  --- These men did not need to transform and solve all their states problems in that short period. They only need to show, and did show in just 100 days that they were able to keep even the simplest of their promises


b) I am sorry what power improved by the way? Obasanjo left us with plants to help generate 3800MW of electricity and all the Yar adua/Jonathan ticket needed to do was let the gas flow. We eventually got the gas flowing 2009/2010, and you want to pretend that Jonathan did it? come on now!!

c) Sure we have been promised credible election but I still way we wait to judge rather than jump ahead of ourselves here. We don't have it yet -- we hope we do so we can change things this time around.

d) there is no baby -- just dirty bad water and nothing else. It is time to stop cutting at our own future so some politicians can have themselves some more time to chop

Enugu_Ukwu:

Kobojunkie is suffering from kwashiokor of the mouth.

lekyar:

So who do you propose that fits the bill, mark you the voting pattern will be clearly irregular and unpredictable. For me it's GEJ at the center and fashola on the ropes. Let me have your take.
